Intel Celeron G3920 vs Intel Core i3-3240

Celeron G3920 vs Core i3-3240 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3240 performs better than the Celeron G3920. Despite this, the Celeron G3920 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3240 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G3920. A Celeron G3920 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3240 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron G3920 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
